En garde! Phone Fight for Nokia N95

Over at (of all places) Lastminute.com, there is a team of obviously bored-yet-talented programmers who own a couple of Nokia N95 phones.

At the recent Over The Air 48-hour codeathon at Imperial College, they came up with Phone Fight – possibly the world’s first and only Bluetooth/Accelerometer-powered virtual swordfighting app.

Armed with your Nokia blade, Python for S60 and the Phone Fight app you can challenge your frineds to duels, complete with clanging sound effects.

All very silly, and could perhaps use a lightsaber mode, but fun nonetheless.

Here is a quick YouTube vid of an epic phone battle:
